Tech Writing 101 in Second Printing

We've received the second printing of our new book, Technical Writing 101: A Real-World Guide to Planning and Writing Technical Documentation, and backorders have been shipped. Our first printing sold out more quickly than we expected (in fact, much more quickly), and we apologize to those who had a delay in receiving their order.

The book has also been picked up by several university instructors as an optional resource text. At Houston Community College, it's a required textbook for their introductory technical writing course. To order Technical Writing 101, please see our order form. You can also order the book from amazon.com or local bookstores.

WebWorks Publisher Book Coming Soon

Our next book is on WebWorks Publisher, and it's currently in the editing stage. We expect it to be out by late spring. The book is by Scriptorium Publishing staff who regularly use WebWorks Publisher to create online output from FrameMaker files. If you'd like to be notified as soon as the book is available, send your name and email address to waiting-for-wwp@scriptorium.com.

An appendix in the new book will list a number of resources. Here's a sample:
